Dear Jhon

I am writing to say thank you for the vacation that we held last week. The tourist destination that we visited was very amazing and has nice facilities. You are so good when arranged the trip and make perfect execution on that day.

However, when I arrived home, I couldn’t find my wallet in the bag. I think it was left at your home near the television when I tried to turn it on and play the movie on it. The wallet has triangle model with brown color and metal logo on the front.

If you have time, kindly send it to my house using Grab express courier. My home address is Renon Street no.12X Denpasar Bali. But before you send please inform me and I would like to stay at home.

I am looking forward to your reply

Best regards

Yogi

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, thanking the friend, explaining the lost wallet, and providing instructions for its return. The tone is friendly and the information is clear. To improve, consider adding a bit more detail to enhance the explanation or instructions, though the current level is sufficient. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the three points mentioned in the task instructions: thanking your friend, explaining about the wallet, and providing instructions. This will enhance clarity. Also, ensure smooth transitions between ideas within each paragraph.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied vocabulary could enhance the letter. For example, instead of 'nice facilities,' you could describe the facilities more specifically. Also, consider using synonyms to avoid repetition (e.g., instead of repeating 'send,' use 'mail' or 'ship'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'vacation that we held' should be 'vacation we had' or 'vacation we spent'. Also, 'make perfect execution on that day' is awkward; consider 'executed the plan perfectly'. Pay attention to verb tense consistency and correct article usage ('the' vs. 'a'). Proofreading carefully for these errors will improve your score.
